The recognition is based on the long tradition ofresearch that began in 1927 with the assignment of Olaus Murie to the National Elk Refuge for the explicit purpose of conducting research on elk. Much of the data Murie collected was used in his book The elk of North America, the first comprehensive book on that topic. Russell "Buzz" Robbins assumed Murie's position of biologist with the National Elk Refuge in 1968. He conducted research on methods for improving the elk winter feeding program, the topic of considerable debate. A natural extension of that feeding program was to determine more precisely where the elk that winter on the National Elk Refuge spend summer and fall and how the timing of their migrations affect the harvest of these elk in fall. When Robbins assumed a position with the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Bruce Smith became refuge biologist. Since 1982, Smith has pursued research on the Jackson elk herd with candor and a special understanding of this large ungulate and its value to the various segments of the public. The Migrations and Management of the Jackson Elk Herd presents the authors' 25-year collection of data that include one of the most comprehensive sets ofavailable data on ungulate migrations. The authors integrated their own data not only with the literature but with the numerous management reports of the past 40 years. The work is an important and comprehensive analysis of the problems and management of one of the most controversial herds of ungulates in North America. John L. Oldemeyer Leader Endangered Species Research National Ecology Research Center National Biological Survey V Migrations and Management of the Jackson Elk Herd by Bruce L. Smith and Russell L. Robbins1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Elk Refuge P.O. BoxC Jackson, Wyoming 83001 Abstract. From April 1978 to April 1982, 85 adult (~2. 7 years-old) elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) were captured and radio-collared on the National Elk Refuge in northwestern Wyoming. Relocations with biotelemetry from 1978 to 1984 showed that the radio-collared elk occupied four distinct summer ranges: 48% summered in Grand Teton National Park, 28% in Yellowstone National Park, 12% in the Teton Wilderness, and 12% in the Gros Ventre drainage. Elk that summered in a specific range are collectively a herd segment of the Jackson elk herd. The fidelity to the summer ranges was 98%; the fidelity to the winter range at the National Elk Refuge was 97%. At least 69% of the calving by elk from all four summer ranges occurred in the Grand Teton National Park central valley. The fidelity to calving areas inversely correlated with the distance between a calving area and the National Elk Refuge winter range. The fall migration commenced in October or November, and 94% of the radio-collared elk arrived at the National Elk Refuge by 15 December. Most elk that were harvested by hunters in the park and on the National Elk Refuge during the early stages of the fall migration were from the Grand Teton National Park herd segment. From 1978 to 1984, hunters reduced the number of wintering elk on the National Elk Refuge from 8,413 to 5,010. Efforts to reduce the size of the Grand Teton National Park herd segment by hunting have been unsuccessful. However, the size of this herd segment seemingly stabilized since the late 1960s and was about 3,700 elk (2,869-4,486, 95% CI, post-hunting season) during this study. We recommend the establishment of management objectives for each of the four herd segments and an investigation of density-dependent effects on the recruitment, survival, and dispersal ofjuveniles. Reducing the number of elk in Grand Teton National Park and restoring the number and migrations of elk east of Grand Teton National Park to pre-1950 conditions are goals of the state and federal agencies that manage the elk and their habitat. Alternative management based on this research is offered to accomplish those goals.

  • Exploring Grand Teton National Park
    05 542850 Ch05.qxd 1/26/04 9:25 AM Page 107 5 Exploring Grand Teton National Park Although Grand Teton National Park is much smaller than Yel- lowstone, there is much more to it than just its peaks, a dozen of which climb to elevations greater than 12,000 feet. The park’s size— 54 miles long, from north to south—allows visitors to get a good look at the highlights in a day or two. But you’d be missing a great deal: the beautiful views from its trails, an exciting float on the Snake River, the watersports paradise that is Jackson Lake. Whether your trip is half a day or 2 weeks, the park’s proximity to the town of Jackson allows for an interesting trip that combines the outdoors with the urbane. You can descend Grand Teton and be living it up at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar or dining in a fine restaurant that evening. The next day, you can return to the peace of the park without much effort at all. 1 Essentials ACCESS/ENTRY POINTS Grand Teton National Park runs along a north-south axis, bordered on the west by the omnipresent Teton Range. Teton Park Road, the primary thoroughfare, skirts along the lakes at the mountains’ base. From the north, you can enter the park from Yellowstone National Park, which is linked to Grand Teton by the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway (U.S. Hwy. 89/191/287), an 8-mile stretch of highway, along which you might see wildlife through the trees, some still bare and black- ened from the 1988 fires.

The 10-Year Wilderness Stewardship Challenge was developed by the Chief’s Wilderness Advisory Group (WAG) as a quantifiable measurement of the Forest Service’s success in wilderness stewardship. The goal identified by the Wilderness Advisory Group, and endorsed by the Chief, is to bring each wilderness under Forest Service management to a minimum stewardship level by the year 2014, the fiftieth anniversary of the Wilderness Act. The Challenge was initiated in fiscal year 2005. The Challenge contains ten items that highlight elements of wilderness stewardship. These elements are 1) the natural role of fire, 2) invasive plants, 3) air quality, 4) education, 5) protection of recreational opportunities, 6) recreational site inventory, 7) outfitters

  • Wilderness Act the Wilderness Act of 1964 Established the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) to Designate and Preserve Pristine Undeveloped Lands
    Policy Brief Series Wilderness Act The Wilderness Act of 1964 established the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) to designate and preserve pristine undeveloped lands. President Johnson and Congress recognized the importance of preserving wild lands, including wildlife habi- tat, for future generations of Americans.1 Methods 62 The Wilderness Act defines wilderness as, “an area of undeveloped federal 60 land retaining its primeval character and influence…and which generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man’s work substantially unnotice- able.” Wilderness land does not have to be virgin land, however the land should be returned to a pristine or wild condi- tion before being designated. Only ex- isting federal lands can be chosen for wilderness designation. Congress has the exclusive power to designate wilderness and to change the boundaries or un-designate a wilder- Figure 1.

Wilderness areas are managed by four federal agencies: the U.S. Forest Ser- vice, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service. When an area is designated as wilderness it usually continues to be managed by the same agency; for example a national forest that is designated wilderness continues to be managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Results NWPS designated 54 Wilderness Areas encompassing 9.1 million acres across 13 states at its inception in 1964.
